Gamochaeta impatiens (A cudweed)
This species is not yet included in the Flora of NSW but is referred to in a recently (Jan 2024) published article in Muelleria 42: 15-32 by Alexander Schmidt-Lebuhn titled 'Australian cudweed key: An illustrated key to cudweed-like Gnaphalieae and related cushion plants of Australia, with notes on selected taxa' (see https://rbgv-storage-prod.azureedge.net/media/zxzjvvtm/muelleria-42-schmidt-lebuhn-cudweeds-15-32.pdf). Compared with other intrduced Gnaphalium species in the ACT & surrounds, it can be distinguished by the following combination of characters:
upper leaf surface glabrous or sparsely hairy, lower surface densely white-hairy (the leaves look discolorous); rosette and lower stem leaves usually present at flowering, with a wide base clasping around the stem; flowering stems ascending from a procumbent base; inflorescence lacking distinct clusters of capitula when mature and not branched; outer involucral bracts with obtuse tips.
Gamochaeta impatiens is listed in the following regions:
Canberra & Southern Tablelands
